The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a U.S. Marxist-Leninist party founded in 2004 after a split from the Workers World Party. It organizes protests, runs candidates, and advocates revolutionary socialism to replace capitalism.
It solicits member and supporter donations. Related groups it shares leadership with (People's Forum, ANSWER Coalition, BreakThrough News) have received tens of millions from Shanghai-based Neville Roy Singham's network, which investigations have traced to hundreds of millions overall.

After democratic losses, progressives say “if the Democratic Party ever wants to win, it needs to do XYZ” and then the Democratic Party ignores them and wins the next election anyways and progressives instantly begin issuing new “must do” notes.
Maybe they know more than you

Pete reminds me of Hilary. Which is probably why I like him. He's an incredibly smart team player that arrives at the right answer before most people, and they never forgive him for it.

Netanyahu's Knesset speech was Milosevic not on steroids but on amphetamines: Deranged, raving racial incitement. Every single elected member shd condemn it but especially from within his own party (right). What's horrible is that all know they shd and they won't.

The bulk of public school staffing growth between 2002 and 2023 was accounted for by student support staff and instructional aides.
Overall, non-teaching staff grew by 23%, compared to 4% enrollment growth.
From 2002 to 2023, public schools increased staff by 15.1 percent while student enrollment rose just 4 percent, writes @ASmithAZ.

"staffers are grappling with how well BAAJA polls vs the litigation groups flooding them with negative messaging"
What's going to be amazing when we pass BAAJA is Dems realizing there are no consequences to rolling the groups.
They're full of sound and fury, signifying nothing
The pushback against BAAJA is a classic example of what @ATabarrok calls the “tyranny of the complainers.” I’m in a Senate briefing hosted by @citizensclimate, and staffers are grappling with how well the BAAJA polls vs. the litigation groups noisily flooding them with negative messaging.
BAAJA is unequivocally net-positive for nature, but the environmental litigation groups are trying to protect their business model.
The big environmental NGOs need to get off the fence and support BAAJA. They’re once again letting the minority establish the narrative that environmentalists are unreasonable. Show some courage!

The U.S. has reportedly agreed to allow Iran to enrich uranium up to 3.67% under a new Qatari-Pakistani proposal accepted by Tehran, Al Arabiya reported, citing sources. The proposed deal would also see IAEA inspectors return, the Strait of Hormuz reopen and the U.S. naval blockade lifted.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Al Arabiya reported these claims citing unnamed sources. A senior Qatari official told Al Jazeera that reports claiming to reveal details of the proposal including on uranium enrichment are categorically false. Negotiations are ongoing with no confirmed breakthrough.

The people who build the things that will actually decarbonize our energy supply are supporting BAAJA.
The people whose bread and butter is lawsuits are opposed to BAAJA.
I know which side I’d rather be on when history asks.
Several permitting scoops in @PunchbowlNews AM: Dozens of clean energy company CEOs, buyers and investors are urging senators to support cloture on BAAJA, arguing in a letter organized by AMPED that delay “means projects not built, jobs not created, and capital sent overseas.”

In the end, it didn’t matter that Barry Goldwater may not have been *personally* racist any more than it mattered that Robert E. Lee disliked slavery.

I'm so proud of Bernie Sanders demonstrating growth and humility.
Utilizing Hilary Clinton's Healthcare policy from 10 years ago shows he's finally interested in competently governing.

The responses to this thread is why I keep telling you all that the problem is the voters, and that doesn't just apply to the right.
